On those days when we take a little extra time to make ourselves presentable to the world, when we take time to look in the mirror and adjust what needs to be adjusted, we are far more ready to face situations that may arise throughout the day.
But the blessing that comes through "looking into the perfect law" and making the necessary adjustments is more than simply making us feel better. In fact sometimes the adjustment required may make us miserable, for the moment (Hebrews 12:11).
If we are a doer of the law, we will avoid unnecessary difficulties because we recognize the wise choices in circumstances. When we do not understand, our trust in God gives us the strength to do what is right regardless of choices made by family and friends. We will benefit from acting on God's principles, both in this life and in the life to come.
God's perfect law is for his glory and our benefit (James 1:5).
